Twas only about half past five in the morning. This is how I wake up of late – with the dawns still behind me. The mauve roses, picked two days ago by hubby, come from a young bush in my garden. Wished to add the mauve to my red and white, yellow and pink rose bushes. The advertising on the package presented a purple rose picture but they budded mauve. I like mauve too!

Have you taken the chance to visit my hubby’s Patreon page? If not for others, at least for the more incendiary spreading that I performed on the table, and the reflection, with my mauve roses. Today at dawn…

Shortly before dawn, in my winter garden with these lovely mauve roses.
